ムライティヴ地区
ムッライティブ県は、スリランカの25の県のうちの一つで、同国の第2レベルの行政区分にあたります。本県は、中央政府により任命される県書記官(以前は政府代理官として知られていました)が率いる県事務局によって管理されています。県都はムッライティブの町です。
現在のムッライティブ県の一部は、植民地時代以前にはジャフナ王国の一部でした。その後、この地域はポルトガル、オランダ、イギリスの支配下に置かれました。1815年、イギリスはセイロン島全体を掌握し、低地シンハラ人、キャンディ王国シンハラ人、タミル人という三つの民族に基づく行政区分に分割しました。当時ヴァンニ県の一部であった本県は、タミル行政の管轄下にありました。1833年、コールブルック=キャメロン委員会の勧告に従い、民族別の行政制度は統合され、五つの地理的州に分けられた単一の行政制度が確立されました。ヴァンニ県は、ジャフナ県およびマンナール県とともに、新たな北部州を形成しました。
ヴァンニ県は後にムッライティブ県、さらにヴァヴニヤ県へと改称されました。本県は18世紀後半に、ジャフナ半島からの移住者、特にアラヴェッディ、ウドゥピッディ、ナヴァリー出身者によって開拓されました。セイロンが独立した当時、ヴァヴニヤは北部州に属する三県のうちの一つでした。1978年9月、ムッライティブ県は、ヴァヴニヤ県北部および当時のジャフナ県、マンナール県、トリンコマリー県の一部を合わせて新設されました。
内戦中、ムッライティブ県は長年にわたりタミル・イーラム解放の虎(LTTE)と呼ばれる反政府勢力の支配下にありました。本県は2009年初頭にスリランカ軍によって奪還されました。
ムッライティブ県は、スリランカ北東部の北部州に位置しています。面積は2,617平方キロメートル(1,010平方マイル)です。
ムッライティブ県は6つの地方事務局管区(DS Divisions)に分かれており、それぞれが地方書記官(以前は副政府代理官として知られていました)によって管理されています。これらの管区はさらに136のグラマ・ニラダリ管区(GN Divisions)に細分化されています。
